Posted on May 15, 2018.

Dickey’s Barbecue Pit plans to open their newest location in Annapolis in late 2018. The new location will be owned by Dickey’s franchisee Yvonne Stanley.

“Dickey’s Barbecue Pit has been family owned and operated since 1941 and we consider each of our owners as a part of our family,” said Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “We are proud to invite Yvonne, our newest franchisee, into the Dickey’s family and look forward to her success.”

This Dickey’s location will be Yvonne’s first restaurant venture. Originally from upstate New York, Yvonne now calls the Annapolis area home and looks forward to serving the residents of her community Dickey’s delicious, slow-smoked barbecue.

“I decided it was time to open my very own business and after doing extensive research, I found a home in Dickey’s Barbecue Pit,” says Yvonne. “I was impressed by the successful business model Dickey’s has in place and the support they offer franchisees.”
